Understanding 9/11The India Rubber Men
Audio With External Links Item Preview
THIS IS A COMPUTER GENERATED TEXT-TO-SPEECH RECORDING: As such, the texture and cadence may not suit all listeners, but this does sound much more natural than the old Stephen Hawking type TTS generator. It does not sound like a Cylon or a Dalek but almost sounds human. Give it a listen for one chapter and you will probably get comfortable with it.
Wallace, Edgar - The India-Rubber Men (1929)
A classic Wallace, stitching together his favourite themes with enough
humour and vigour to keep the reader intrigued till the very end. John
Wade is the young Scotland Yard inspector, Lila Smith the beautiful
orphan with a mysterious past. There is a a criminal mastermind, a
long-standing gang of jewel thieves -- the India-Rubber Men, who wear
gasmasks and rubber gloves, and carry gas bombs to stave off pursuit --
and a smattering of Chinese bandits and American mobsters. Through it
all runs the Thames, and there is even time for a little excursion out
of London to its upper reaches in Oxfordshire. The mixture as before,
expertly blended. (description quoted from "Jon" at The Golden Age of Detective Fiction)
